The Greatest Music
RAM
by Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney
The 610th greatest album of all time
RAM, credited to Paul and Linda McCartney and released in 1971, blends melodic pop rock and art pop with occasional blues and classic rock touches. The record pairs pastoral, acoustic-based songs with richer studio arrangements and horn and orchestral colors, moving between intimate balladry and playful, multi-part pop suites. It is notable as an early statement of McCartney's post-Beatles musical direction and his experimentations with songcraft and arrangement.
